That would make the border with Russia so much safer. What makes me angry is Russia’s constant lying (and what makes me more angry is seeing western people believing their bullcr*p).
They like to pretend that they are threatened by 7 tanks in Estonia all the while they have **250** tanks in Kaliningrad.
We’ve gotten into taking our artillery to next level by buying (so far only) 12 South Korean K-9 Self Propelled Guns. We do have a lot of obsolete artillery and the new reform allows to pass our 122mm D-30’s with Finnish modifications to territorial defence force.
Still pretty far from that already too pessimistic article 7 years ago. We already had 136 Pasi APC-s then and since have gotten 44 CV-90 IFV/light tanks with extra 31 CV-90 platform based support vehicles.
Success of a mere infantry invasion wasn’t viable for Russia then and certainly isn’t now.
Next big step is going to be air-security. Right now we can’t do anything on that front other than trouble helicopters and have to rely on NATO alliance helping.
...at least you might believe that if your only news came from American main stream sources!
